Description: This function allows the user to check any skew in the plate or solid elements.
Usage:
1. DSI prompts:
> ENTER SKEW CRITERIA (DEGREE)
• A valid response is any real number greater than zero.
• If the skew of the elements is less than the user-defined criteria, then DSI echoes the message:
> ALL ELEMENTS PASS CHECK!
The user returns to the MODEL CHECKER menu.
• If the skew of some elements is greater than the user-defined criteria, then DSI echoes one of the following messages:
> ELEMENT xxxx FAILED CHECK or
> xxxx ELEMENTS FAILED CHECK
2. If failed elements exist, then DSI prompts the user to place them into a part:
> INCLUDE FAILED ELEMENTS IN A NEW PART? (Y/N)
? YES
The PART DEFINITION window pops up.
• The failed elements are removed from the original parts and added to the NEW PART.
• The new part is ON and CURRENT
NO
• The user returns to the MODEL CHECKER menu.
